    a, b and d are correct.

    Explanation:

    There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

    The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond). The force that operates between molecules, called an intermolecular force.

    Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

    Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.
